In ∆ABC with m∠C = 90° the sides satisfy the ratio BC:AC:AB = 4:3:5. If the side with middle length is 12 cm, find: 1) The perim

eter of ∆ABC; 2) The area of ∆ABC; 3) The height to the hypotenuse.

1- getting the side lengths:
We are given that the ratio between the sides is:
BC : AC : AB
4    : 3    : 5
We are also given that AC = 12 cm
We will simply use cross multiplication to find the lengths of the other two sides as follows:
BC : AC : AB
4    : 3    : 5
??  : 12  : ??
length of BC = (12*4) / 3 = 16 cm
length of AB = (12*5) / 3 = 20 cm

2- getting the perimeter of the triangle:
perimeter = AB + BC + AC
perimeter = 20 + 16 + 12
perimeter = 48 cm

3- getting the length of the hypotenuse:
We are given that angle C is the right angle in triangle ABC. The hypotenuse is the side opposite to the right angle. In our case, this side is AB.
This means that the length of the hypotenuse = AB = 20 cm

4- getting the area of the triangle:
area of triangle = 0.5 * base * height
Since the given triangle is a right-angled triangle, therefore, the base and the height are the two legs associated with the right angle.
This means that:
base = AC = 12 cm
height = BC = 16 cm
Therefore:
area of triangle = 0.5 * 12 * 16 = 96 cm²

Hope this helps :)

Mark records his science scores in each monthly assessment over a period of 5 months. In the first assessment he scores 76%. In
Trava [24]

This is the complete question:

Mark records his science scores in each monthly assessment over a period of 5 months. In the first assessment he scores 76%. In the second assessment he scores 73%. After that, his scores keep increasing by 2% in every assessment.  Assume that x represents the number of assessments since he starts recording and y represents the scores in each assessment, which of the following describes the situation?

a. a relation only b.

b. neither a function nor a relation

c. a function only

d. both a relation and a function

Answer:

  • <u><em>d. both a relation and a function</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>A relation</em> is any statement, either verbal or mathematical, that connects, interrelates or associates, two or more elements (objects, persons, variables).

The text describes a situation where the scores in the assesments are related to the number of statements since Mark starts recording, hence this is a relation.

<h2>Is this relation a function or not?</h2>

In order for a relation be a function, the association has to be unambiguos. This means that for a given input only one output can exist. If an input can have two or more outputs, then you can not determine which is the output for that input. This is what defines whether a relation is a function or not.

In the situation described in the text, x is the input, i.e. the number of assessments since Mark starts recording the scores. Definetely, the number of assessment is not repeated: there is only one first assessment, only one second assessment, only one third assessment, ... the number of assessment cannot not get repeated. Of course, if the input is not repeated, there is only one output associated to the input (each assessment has just one associated score)  and the relation is a function.

7. The length of a minute hand of a clock is 3.5cm. Find the angle it turns through if it
babymother [125]

Answer:

The angle it turns through if it  sweeps an area of 48 cm²   is   448.8°

Step-by-step explanation:

If the length of a minute hand of a clock is 3.5cm, to find the angle it turns through if it  sweeps an area of 48 cm, we will follow the steps below;

area of a sector = Ф/360  ×   πr²

where Ф is the angle,  r is the radius   π is a constant

from the question given, the length of the minute hand is 3.5 cm, this implies that radius r = 3.5

Ф =?   area  of the sector= 48 cm²    π = \frac{22}{7}

we can now go ahead to substitute the values into the formula  and solve Ф

area of a sector = Ф/360  ×   πr²

48   =  Ф/360  ×  \frac{22}{7} × (3.5)²

48 = Ф/360  ×  \frac{22}{7} ×12.25

48 = 269.5Ф / 2520

multiply both-side of the equation by 2520

48×2520 = 269.5Ф

120960 = 269.5Ф

divide both-side of the equation by 269.5

448.8≈Ф

Ф = 448.8°

The angle it turns through if it  sweeps an area of 48 cm²   is   448.8°

What does it mean if am equation is equivalent to 0=0? explain.
anzhelika [568]

This means it has infinite solutions congrats. When solving algebraic equations you can find one solution, no solutions. When you have infinite solutions that means that equations has multiple things that can equal it.
